I think some settings may not be in the right place on itchio and the godot export. I get the top error when running the browser version and the bottom error when going to itchio. The game looks cool though and I'm looking forward to playing it!

I really like the look and gameplay! Music is sick too!
Really love the look of this one, I landed on a similar visual style so it's cool to see another take on it. The gameplay was fun, but as a newly minted person who has opinions about platformers (tm) - the jump felt a little weird and hard to control. Not too much of a problem in this game though since there weren't any traversal challenges to worry about. Loved the look and feel overall, the sounds fit really well too - they provided good feedback for most things with the only sound effect I think missing being when a bullet hits an enemy. Super clean presentation, and fun gameplay. Great work!
Fun game! I love how quick the gameplay loop is; it didn't feel overwhelmingly one-sided during the actual combat. I would like to see the game's instructions match the one on itch.io. I died a bunch trying to figure it out. Powerups/weapon changes are also a nice touch; it was a nice breath of air.
Very nice, fun to play the upgraded weapons all feel good to use. Would like a way to spend extra scrap after accumulating a lot or a way to spend without dying.
Hi, at first I had a little trouble playing and i got a lot of enemies, but I thought it was pretty cool. He's only got a bug in relation to the menus, when we die or go to the start menu, there's some information overlapping and then we have to go out and go back to the game. But other than that, I thought it was really cool, congratulations especially for deinging the game. Oh, take the opportunity to play our game too and tell me what you thought: https://ldj.am/$318266
Nice game! Flamethrower breaks the game. I stayed in high platform and destroy all very easy. It's imbalance. Art is simple and cute. I like it. Good job!
Great game :) Nice aesthetic and sound design, it felt good to play. You forgot to upload the pck file for the windows version though.
Good game. The weapons are fun to use.
I think the jump physics could be improved a bit by making it more controllable.
This gets high fun rating. I actually played it until it glitched out, and bit beyond that. Graphics do their job, can't talk bad about 1-bit pixels + added red colour.
It is geared towards easy and passives being too affordable, but in context of jam that is only wise decision. I ended up just killing myself in repeat to get more of passives, as I had shitload of scraps anyway.
Could do with air control, now best tactic is to camp out in corner and shoot away. Shotgun is bit under powered I think compared to others. Needs more enemy types, maybe some could shoot back, fly or fall vertically through walls and floors (like ghosts).
Bug report: I think when you get enough passives, their stop working. I stopped getting any weapon drops, my hit points got zeroed.
All in all, enjoyable experience, even if bit basic.
I liked the minimalistic graphics and although the mechanics are simple it's challenging enough to be entertaining.
Very slick game! The graphics and music played really well together. The gameplay was also a lot of fun - both the movement and the shooting. And even though some weapons felt a tad overpowered, the overall experience was very satisfying.
I'll say that I didn't feel like the game fit so much with the theme - if it wasn't for the game description, I wouldn't have felt the theme at all. But who cares? Playing the game was awesome anyhow. This game was basically the arcade equivalent of a sugar rush. Great job!
Neat platformer game with a minimalist aesthetetic, but something clear. The controls work well as expected and the sounds are great. Respectfully there is no link with the theme - but this is your choise. I had fun playing your little project. There is something in the package VA-14 on Itch.io - I guess that your forgot something. Thank you ++
cool game that could be expanded much more.
so much potential
yass a very nice combination of overall game progression/upgrades and quick platformer shooting action
i felt overpowered when i got the TRIPLE upgrade just to pick up a SINGLE again after a few kills, nice
the visuals are clean an aesthetic and sounds effect fit the overall mood
i feel that some visual feedback on enemies being hit would go a long way and make it even more enjoyable!!!
nice, thanks for making that! :heart:
What a cool entry! Really liked this! graphics are neat and oldschool, and the game is fun, the music slaps too :)
Something I learned from the last jam: you start of waaaaay to hard, haha, difficulty wise, this comes from us playtesting our own games all the time and being total pros :D so best thing would be start of so easy even your grandma can make it and then increase the difficulty :) just something to keep in mind ^____^ (a lot of LD devs sadly are very impatient and then you might get unfair bad ratings...)
That being said, a really cool game reminded me of the classics :D :D
animations were minimalistic and neat! Cool entry dude!! especially for a single person!
Theres a really good framework for a game, however I think its lacking a bit of uniqueness. I also found it pretty easy to cheese by standing in a corner and firing. There could be some enemy variation where they can shoot, so you must dodge.
The graphics are lovely and the sounds work really well with the game, I think if the game was expanded on it would be super as it has such a good base.
I also think the shoot on Z is kinda awkward for a keyboard, I prefer to have it available on mouse button 1.
overall great entry
<3
This game reminds me Super Crate Box a lot! Graphics are cute and the sounds are efficients. I'd prefer more reactive movement and less momentum when you do a jump for this kind of game so the player can be more precise, but this is my opinion.
The "shop" system when you die is a good addition! However, I could go negative by buying the same item multiple times :)
Really clean stuff, good job! :thumbsup:
